eaglerc.usr being overwritten...

rochey

Hi folks,

 

I've just upgraded from 5.11 to 7.5!

 

In 5.11, I had a custom drop down menu that I created in eaglerc.usr.

Something along the lines of:

Brd.MenuText.01 = "EA SCRs{                                          Print Sch & BRD : Script expatexport.scr; |            Show All :  Display All; |            Nice Layout View : Script layers_for_layout.scr; |            Hide Labels : Script hide_label_layers.scr; |                                          # Revert Layers : Script revert_layers.scr; |            Show All Top : Script show_all_top_layers.scr; |            Show All Bottom : Script show_all_bottom_layers.scr; |                                          Zoom Unrouted: Run zoom-unrouted.ulp; |            Bill of Materials : Run bom.ulp; |            Silk Gen : Run silk_gen.ulp; |            }"

 

And it worked like a charm.

 

I tried 7.5 on my Windows 7PC, made the appropriate mods and it worrked like a charm.

 

Then, when I tried to do the same on my Win 8.1, any changes were ignored, regardless of if Eagle was shut down or not whilst the file was modded.

 

Have I lost my marbles? Why is Eagle ignoring my entries? I even tried copy/modify the other MenuText items just in case it was my formatting.

 

Please help.

    Please check your eagle.scr. There is the MENU command that defines

    some buttons for the text menu. this might be the reason for overwriting

    the settings in eaglerc.usr.

    Problem solved. I stopped trying to edit in the eaglerc and moved all my edits into eagle.scr

     

    Now on to trying to make an icon similar to the designlink and ltspice one. Do you have a template? image

     

    Also, thank you for the very fast reply. I was nicely surprised.
